The image shows a granite sphinx statue with hieroglyphs inscribed on its base, located in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The statue is positioned on a large granite pedestal, which also bears inscriptions in Cyrillic. The sky is overcast, and a body of water is visible in the background, likely the Neva River, with buildings on the opposite bank. The inscription on the pedestal reads: "СФИНКСЪ ИЗЪ ДРЕВНИХЪ ФИВЪ ВЪ ЕГИПТЕ ПЕРЕВЕЗЕНЪ ВЪ ГРАДЪ СВЯТАГО ПЕТРА ВЪ 1832 ГОДУ." This translates to: "Sphinx from ancient Thebes in Egypt transported to the city of Saint Peter in the year 1832." This refers to the Sphinxes on the University Embankment of the Neva River in Saint Petersburg. There is a partially visible red and white boat or vessel in the lower left corner of the frame. The ground in front of the pedestal appears wet, suggesting recent rain. The overall scene depicts a historical monument on a cloudy day.
